Just curious, when does the rut usually kick off in North and Central Florida. I'm used to late October into early November up north. This is my first season hunting down here so any info would help a ton.

I don't know about you all, but I've seen fawns all throughout the year. I hunt mainly in Jefferson County, but also a little in Leon and Wakulla Counties. While I've never actually witnessed a buck trailing a hot doe, I have seen young fawns at all times of the year. There may be a certain time of year when breeding peaks, but I believe with the warm weather, florida deer breed all year long. When our bow season starts on September 22, I plan on using a double scent drag with hot doe and buck scent applied. I'll let ya know how it goes.
